Jabra launches PanaCast (S$1,389) – its smart panoramic 4K video conferencing solution for huddle rooms.
The Jabra PanaCast provides a 180-degree plug-and-play video solution that enables everyone in the room is seen.
The “video-head” was made by Altia Systems which was acquired by Jabra’s parent, GN back in February this year.
